The Exposition Metro Line Construction Authority will join a host of
local elected officials including Mayor Villaraigosa, County Supervisors
Yvonne Brathwaite Burke, Gloria Molina and Culver City Mayor Gary Silberger
for a groundbreaking event to officially mark the beginning of construction
on the 8.5-mile Exposition light rail line. The light rail project, once
completed in 2010, will ease travel times between the Westside and downtown
Los Angeles. The $640 million project will include eight new stations
along the Exposition right-of-way from downtown Los Angeles to Washington/National
in Culver City. The Exposition Line will offer faster and more convenient
access to many destinations. Whether traveling to work in downtown Los
Angeles, exploring the museums in Exposition Park or dining and shopping
in Culver City, the Exposition Light Rail Line will get people where they
need to go quickly and efficiently.
